Moist cake. The very edges were a little on the dry side (I may have over baked) but the rest of the cake was moist. I used stone ground cornmeal. I added the entire 7 oz. pkg of almond paste instead of 1/2 cup. Used mini-chopper processor to pulverize the almond paste. A little extra cream as well. Baked for 50 min. Next time I'll check at 45 min. Next time I would add a full tsp of almond extract to make it more almondy, or perhaps make a glaze w/ almond extract, then sprinkle top with sliced toasted almonds. Surprisingly, the pretty powder sugar top coat didn't disolve & disappear & get all sticky after storing the leftovers in the fridge like I thought it would. Nuked cold slices of cake for about 20 sec. in microwave. Just as good if not better the next day that way.

While I liked the almond flavor of the cake, I found it to be a bit dry compared to other poundcakes. Also, it took a lot longer than 15 minutes to prepare...I would say at least 30 minutes.




A Winner

The taste was fantastic--love the almond flavor! This one will be added to my favorites. My husband loved it too. Not too sweet, and perfect with the fruit topping. This one's a keeper.

Dave: I have not tried this cake yet, but it sounds great. The one cup heavy cream is the liquid you mix alternatively with the dry ingredients after beating in each egg yolk. The recipe spells this out. Good luck.




1 cup heavy creme
